McKay and Corbett were both in the scrimmage, after long absences, and showed their condition to be perfect. Minot and P. D. Smith were not used against the second team, for they were both still a little stiff as a result of Saturday's game. O'Flaherty started the scrimmage and his work in the back-field, especially catching punts, was decidedly improved. After the regular scrimmage was over, the two teams lined up on the second's 25-yard line and O'Flaherty kicked five pretty drop kicks. The line held well and each kick got away quickly...
...University football squad held a short secret practice in the Stadium yesterday afternoon. The men were all rather stiff after Saturday's game with Cornell, and many of the regulars were given a day off. G. G. Browne and McKay, who have both been on the sick list, reported in uniform.

Smith, Minot, and Long were not on the field. None of these men, with...

...Freshman football team plays Groton tomorrow, and had a stiff try-out against the University team Wednesday, yesterday's practice was of a light order only. For the first 15 minutes the entire squad of 66 men was drilled in tackling the dummy. The line men were then given practice in starting, and the backs were coached in punting, dodging, and catching punts. The ends worked at breaking through interference. After a brisk signal practice, the first team went into the Locker Building without a scrimmage. Two teams made up of substitutes and second team men had a light scrimmage...
...University eight went over the half-mile in 2 minutes and 27 seconds, rowing about 38 for the whole distance. All the orders were regular. Although the wind still continued to blow hard and kick up rough water at the time for the evening row, the crews all had stiff work. The University eight in its new order paddled down-stream to about a quarter of a mile beyond the two-mile flag at the Navy Yard and back in easy stretches at a slow stroke. The water was so rough that the crew could not be given a good...
